I just smoked the motor on my bandsaw, so taking opportunity to upgrade from 1 hp to 1.5hp. Should have new motor late next week.

Finishing this bow up. Sprayed the first coat of Thunderbird on it and I really like how it came out. Super smooth with very little issues. Wet sanded the bow with 1000 grit paper and will spray it with flat tomorrow. Hoping a new bow may turn my luck around for the last couple weeks of my hunting season...it has been a tough one yet again!



Specs:
58 tip to tip
54# @28 inches
bacote back

Started a back quiver project.  Kinda finding my way as it goes along.  

 

 

[Roy from Pa]

I should of had gloves on... Dang piece of bamboo took off while sanding the back on the edge sander. And naturally I had to hang onto it so it didn't get damaged..  

[Zradix]

dang Roy.
...stitches?

[kennym]

I hope you're ok buddy!

I have to say, a sander with some coarse grit belt is dangerous . May not cut as deep as a saw but removes material very quickly.....

[Dan Landis]

That's the kind of blood trail you want to see in the woods, not in your shop.  Hope your ok Roy.

[Roy from Pa]

LOL Dan, that's only half the blood trail in the shop..
I'm fine.. No stitches, just 3 deep cuts on the hand from holding onto the bamboo when it took off. That boo gets pretty sharp along the edges when ya taper it down. And ole dumb a$$ Roy didn't put on his gloves. Wife patched me up with butterfly bandages... Then gave me hell...    

[Zradix]

She's a good woman for that...lol

Glad to hear it wasn't too serious.

That boo can be like razors.

[BenBow]

Ouch      be careful Roy

[Mad Max]

you got a name for that bow now.    
Take it easy old fart.  

[Dan Landis]

Glad to hear you're ok.  Most of mine draw blood before finished too.

[Roy from Pa]

Actually, Dan. If I don't get cut at least once a day in the shop, then I know I haven't done much bow work..  

[wood carver 2]

Damn Roy, when I saw that picture, it gave me the shivers. There is something about bamboo cuts that gets me.

Eyes, legs and fingers crossed!
